    Not having oppressive and exploitative laws does not make “a wild west”.

    Even so, I would always choose a wild west over neo-feudalism, as the lesser evil.

      Those are not the only two options, and the existence of laws and regulations does not make it “neo-feudalism”.

        This act wants to create a privilege for the famous. It expends their control over public discourse and lets them collect money without working.

        Unearned privileges for an elite are neo-feudalism.

          Not every artist is rich and famous either, most are not. It’s disingenuous to pretend they are,

          Saying artists want to “collect money without working” when people are trying to get AI trained on their works without permission to replicate their output is a total reversion of the situation. The artist already put on their work, the ones wanting things without work are the AI users.

          But I see discussing this won’t go anywhere. If you won’t even admit what an overblown hyperbole it is calling it “neo-feudalism” then there’s no discussion to be had.

            Did you see “Thank You for Smoking” and think that’s the best thing one can be?

            I’ve never even hinted that every artist is rich or famous. I believe your posts are intentionally misleading. Nevertheless, if you take back the implied lie about me, I will continue to entertain the idea that you are not intentionally manipulative.
